Chapter 455: Don't Answer

rotect my mother, my godmother, my grandmother, and my grandfather.'"The child's eyes were full of longing. Having only his grandfather as a male figure growing up, he instinctively felt the need to p...Of all people, Zhuo YUAN knows Gu Ruandong best. 。If you ever offend him, he will definitely get revenge tenfold or a hundredfold. He has an absolute grudge-bearing personality and is very cunning. He's hard to outsmart. 。He doesn't want Tinglan to have any involvement with Gu Ruandong. 。But in Shu Tinglan's view, Zhuo Yunan's strong refusal was because he was cooperating with Gu Ruandong on a game and was afraid that if she took the case it would affect their collaboration. 。Zuo Yu'an was the type of person who, once involved in work, would turn his back on everyone else and become incredibly serious. 。But, he values his work and she also values her own, so she retorted: "But, if I assess that case and think it's suitable, I will take it." 。"Tinglan, I support whatever case you want to take on, but if the other party is Gu Ruandong, you can't." 。Zuo Yu'an resolutely refused. 。Zuo Yujian, I won't interfere with your work, and I hope you won't interfere with mine. 。As she spoke, the elevator doors opened just then. She stepped out first and headed towards the law firm. 。Zhu Yu'an walked a bit too quickly. He stepped out of the elevator and didn't follow up, sighing inwardly. 。Shu Tinglan's face wasn't good as she walked into the office. Coincidentally, Lan Xiaoshan was about to hold a meeting for their business group to do a mid-year summary. 。Let's go to the conference room at Bluesky Mountain with Li Anna. 。She was in a bad mood. During the meeting, because of the mid-year review, her performance was much worse than Li Anna's, and her mood plummeted even further. 。

"Mr. Shu, keep up the good work! You've only been here for half a year and you've already achieved so much. " 。"Lan Xiaoshan didn't blame her at all. After all, Li Anna had years of customer relationships, while Shu Tinglan had just started. Even with a few large clients, the growth in performance wasn't as fast." 。Okay, thank you, Lanlü. I want to learn more from Lawyer Li. 。She said that, on the surface, she didn't seem to be affected. But after the meeting, the pressure inside her increased drastically, especially when Lan Xiaoshan stayed behind and spoke a few more words to her. 。"Lawyer Shu, you do a good job" 。Your professional skills and network are no worse than Lawyer Li's, it's just a matter of time. Be patient. 。"Even if I wanted to promote you, your performance has to be convincing, right" Shu Tinglan could tell that Lan Xiaoshan was unhappy with her performance and was thus trying to motivate her. 。It is conceivable that Shu Tinglan's pressure is immense. 。She has a lot of work pressure and rarely complains or seeks others to vent to relieve stress. She just buries her head and works silently. In her view, it's more practical to spend time on work than to waste time complaining to others for stress relief. 。Occasionally, when I feel like I can't hold it in anymore, I chat with Lin Zhixuan. 。What's great about Lin Zhixuan is that she's very tolerant. No matter what kind of person you are—selfish, dramatic, gloomy—she'll tell you, "It's okay, baby. This is common human nature. Everyone has these moments." 。She was under a lot of stress, and as long as she didn't bring it up proactively, Lin Zhihao wouldn't ask too much. He would just be there to support her by ensuring she ate and drank what she needed to. 。

"My goodness, Fu Shenyi is so lucky to have married you! " 。"

It's truly his blessing, I don't deny that" 。Lin Zhixuan smiled, as confident as always. 。"How's FeiFei doing Is she adapting well" Shu Tinglan came to Lin Zhifei's house for dinner after work and didn't see FeiFei the whole time. 。"I'm doing okay. I'm practicing the piano in the room upstairs now, for an hour every day. It's hard to manage a child." 。Lin Zhixuan casually said 。"Hmm hmm, you worked hard." 。"Being a stepmother is hard. If you're strict, people think you abuse her. If you're lenient, people think you don't care about the child." 。。It's just that there's a bit of reluctance, but I have to complete Lin Zhifan's requirement of practicing for an hour every day. 。Lin Zhiyao took the sheet music and pretended to look it over: “Auntie Shu used to have a piano level 8, let her check how you’re doing today.” 。Shu Tinglan was speechless. It had been years since she last touched the piano, and she hadn't even taught her younger sister, Shu Xiaohua. But Lin Zhifei had said so, so she had to accompany Fei Fei to the music room. 。Lin Zhihao secretly winked at her: "Feifei is a little insecure, just praise her a lot later." 。"Good"

"I see." 。Actually, FeiFei is not bad at playing the piano. She started learning when she was young, but because her mother got sick, she neglected it for half a year. It's not difficult to pick it up again now. 。

Before she could even begin to compliment him, Lin Zhixuan clapped his hands enthusiastically beside her. “That was amazing! It’s practically master level.” 。"

Fei Fei's face was unnatural, a mixture of happiness and embarrassment: "That's so fake. " 。Put down the sheet music and left. 。"Hey, you little imp, there's no pleasing you, is there" Ren Fei had already left. 。Shu Tinglan laughed: "It's really fake, not a bit sincere." 。"

No, I really think Fei Fei plays well" 。"Lin Zhi'ao can't play

In her ears, they all sound the same,

No difference " 。The headlights from a car shone into the courtyard, it was Fu Shenyi coming home from work. 。They stood by the windows on the second floor, able to see Fu Shenyi getting out of the car. 。"Huh, is that Zhuo YUAN's car" Lin Zhifei saw Fu Shenyi's car, and another car came over. 。Shu Tinglan also saw this, and remembered that when she was leaving work, Zhu Yuyan said she would go to the law firm to pick her up. She said it wasn't necessary, as she had made an appointment with Lin Zhicheng to have dinner together. 。Zhuo Yu'an's car was parked in Lin Zhifei's yard, with the headlights on and he standing by the car door, with no intention of going inside. 。"What does he mean Isn't he coming in" Lin Zhichao asked. 。"Maybe he's afraid you won't let him in" 。Shuting Lan answered. 。"Well, he certainly knows himself." 。At that moment, Shu Tinglan's phone rang. His call came as if he knew she was standing there. After answering, he looked directly up to the second floor from the courtyard. 。Tinglan, have you finished your meal

"Hmm " 。I haven't eaten yet, I had meetings all day today and now I'm a bit hungry. 。“His tone was very low, as if he hadn't eaten truly and was weak.” 。Lin Zhihao beside him could also hear his voice and sneered coldly: "Pretend" 。Shū Tíng lán said: "Then why don't you eat with Fu Shěn Yì outside and come back later" 。He said his house has a security door and he must go home for dinner, so he can't go with me. 。"Looking at his tone, he seemed rather pitiful. Shu Tinglan forgot about the morning's unpleasantness and felt a bit sorry for him." 。Lin Zhiyao couldn't take it anymore, she snatched the phone from Tinglan's hand: "President Zhuo, stop pretending, just come in for a meal if you're hungry. There's one mouthful for Fu Shenyi, and one mouthful for you." 。And then he hung up. 。In the courtyard, Zhuo Yunan also turned off his headlights and walked towards home. 。"Men should not be coddled." 。Lin Zhihao shoved the phone into Shu Tinglan's hand. 。

At the restaurant on the first floor, Zhuo Yu'an and Fu Shenyi sat at opposite ends of the dining table. 。where Han Li was taking a bath.After a while, she changed into casual clothes and was no longer the office-ready professional she usually was. She didn't turn on the lights and sat across from Zhao Ti...
